Grumpy Cat is no ordinary online sensation — the unenthusiastic cat won the Meme of the Year trophy at the 2013 Webby Awards, hosted a meet-and-greet at the South by Southwest Festival where she was named "Queen of Social Media," and has a book in the works. So it should come as no surprise that the kitty is bringing her lousy attitude to Hollywood.
Todd Garner and Sean Robbins of Broken Road Productions have struck a deal with Ben Lashes, Grumpy Cat's manager (yes, Grumpy Cat has a manager) to star the cat in an upcoming movie, described as "a 'Garfield'-like feature film" and that the judgmental kitty will be able to speak in the picture.
On who should provide the voice for Grumpy Cat, the consensus quickly arrived at Simon Cowell, who has build a career out of snarky disapproval, being an ideal choice. Other likely candidates included Jack Nicholson, Nick Offerman, and Ben Stein.
It was also noted that Tardar Sauce (Grumpy Cat's real name) is actually female, so a woman might be better suited for the part. Wanda Sykes, Maggie Smith, and Sarah Silverman were among the actresses being talked up by fans for the voice of Grumpy Cat.
A blogger for The Atlantic, however, noted that Broken Road are also responsible for the Kevin James vehicles "Zookeeper" (they have experience with comedies dominated by talking animals), “Here Comes The Boom” and “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” so there’s a better than average chance James will either be voicing Grumpy Cat or portraying his human sidekick in the movie.
